Introduction to UPnP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a common peer-to-peer network connection architecture for PCs and smart devices.

Applies to: All Reoklink cameras and NVR except the battery-powered cameras and the cameras in the NVR kits

For an intranet computer, UPnP enables the NAT module of the gateway or router to do automatic port mapping, mapping the listening ports from the gateway or router to the intranet computer.

Enable UPnP on the Reolink camera and the router can open ports for the camera, allowing us to remotely access the camera.

All Reolink cameras and NVR except the battery-powered cameras and the cameras in the NVR kits could support UPNP.

For how to set up UPnp, please refer to How to Enable and Disable UPNP for Reolink Products
